Nothing I’d Rather Do

So I took a surprise trip to Franklin County, PA yesterday/today to drive my grandma in for surgery.  Idly sitting in a Central PA hospital waiting room can be much more interesting than you’d think. It’s kind of sad, but being that my grandma’s hospital is in an area where a large percentage of the population consists of Senior Citizens (otherwise known as old people), the hospital waiting room functions much like a shopping mall does for teenagers: as a center of gossip where you’re sure to see more than one of your peers at any given time.  The only real difference is instead of getting an Orange Julius while they’re there, they get their gallbladder taken out.

And on this impromptu 2-day trip, with its long car rides, hospital waiting rooms, and TV-less bedrooms (what!?), I had a lot of time to think, and having discussed this briefly with a few individuals already, I’m going to make a head-first attempt at launching my video podcast this fall.  I’ll be releasing 3 original pieces of media-rich web content at billyd.tv each week, and in doing so I’ll be a full time podcaster, along with already being a full time student and a part time publicist.  But this is the only way any of this will ever work, because I work best when completely bombarded and totally stressed out.  Relaxation kills my creativity’s boner and, at 20, I feel innovative limpness is unacceptable. I’ll probably be overloading myself this fall, but there’s nothing I’d rather do.
